Narrative:

Departed pdx radar vectors to join V23 south of btg. Level 16000 ft, selected 343 degree radial (163 degrees) outbound btg for V23 in error. Correct radial is 355 degrees (175 degrees). Commercial united states lo 1 chart has 343 degrees printed on V23 causing us both to confuse this for the outbound radial. Chart is confusing and needs to be changed. 343 degrees could be labeled to the east side of whatever it is trying to label. Sea ATC issued turn to 250 degrees for traffic and to reintercept V23. No conflict occurred, that we are aware of.

Title: MLG CREW FLEW WRONG RADIAL OUT OF BTG.

Narrative: DEPARTED PDX RADAR VECTORS TO JOIN V23 S OF BTG. LEVEL 16000 FT, SELECTED 343 DEG RADIAL (163 DEGS) OUTBOUND BTG FOR V23 IN ERROR. CORRECT RADIAL IS 355 DEGS (175 DEGS). COMMERCIAL UNITED STATES LO 1 CHART HAS 343 DEGS PRINTED ON V23 CAUSING US BOTH TO CONFUSE THIS FOR THE OUTBOUND RADIAL. CHART IS CONFUSING AND NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. 343 DEGS COULD BE LABELED TO THE E SIDE OF WHATEVER IT IS TRYING TO LABEL. SEA ATC ISSUED TURN TO 250 DEGS FOR TFC AND TO REINTERCEPT V23.
